Who We Are

Irish Fest of the Fox Cities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by volunteers and overseen by an independent Board of Directors. Our mission is to produce a wonderful, family-friendly festival that will help enhance the quality of life for our community, while promoting and educating our public on the Irish and Celtic Arts and Culture. This special event is dependent on our sponsors, our partners, our attendees and most importantly our volunteers!  Thank you for helping us bring another amazing event to the Fox Cities!
